Bee: Nature's Tiny Miracle
A recommended read-aloud for most elementary classrooms or informational book collections.
The Grizzly Bear Who Lost His GRRRRR!
Not the most original concept, and the plot is rather predictable. However, the message in this rhyming tale about friendship and acceptance is sweet and endearing; this title should find an appreciative audience.
Because of an Acorn
For the youngest readers and listeners, this is a simple but attractive introduction to nature's life cycles.-Roxanne Burg, Orange County Public Library, CA
A spare text describes the relationship between living things in an oak forest ecosystem. Some examples are of circumstance (the abundance of trees attracts nesting birds) and some of happenstance (a hawk alighting on a branch knocks off an acorn), but the book, with handsome illustrations featuring browns and greens, nicely emphasizes nature's interconnectedness. Additional oak forest information, including environmental tips, is included.

Henry & Leo
The stunning, sumptuous artwork and familiar themes make this a serene and satisfying bedtime story for young children, with just the right amount of dramatic tension.

The book is best suited to medium-size or large collections but will definitely be welcome at libraries with Read to a Dog programs.

The impressive artwork and the succinct information make this an excellent addition to alphabet book collections.
What a Beautiful Morning
This sweet and tender story about dealing with change and loss is suitable for sharing in a group or one-on-one. No happy ending here, but a satisfyingly realistic one all the same.
